Another team visited a shelter for the elderly at Pashupatinath, close to the hotel. Sadly, many of these older people are not looked after by their own families, which is how they end up here. It is a small community of senior citizens who look after each other and rely on the help of others. Here, food items including glucose powder and bananas were distributed.

During the earthquake, a few villagers broke their legs, sprained ankles, got serious cuts and bruises. We are so fortunate that a group of trained medical personnel arrived to check on them.
